Around And Around

My week of red carpets...

On Monday I made up Sophia Bush for the premiere of Green Hornet.

Her lashes are stunning!  I used DiorShow Extase mascara with Ardell individual lashes.

Wednesday I made up Chloë Sevigny for the premiere of Big Love.  

The orangey red shade on her lips is MAC Lady Danger.

Sunday night I made up Thor actress Jaimie Alexander for the InStyle Golden Globes party. 

Her powdery pink lips are NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Roman Holiday.

I hope this gives you some fun ideas for your own makeup!

Our Lips Are Sealed

Recently I was a guest at a great party for L'Oreal Paris at the Four Seasons Hotel. I met up with my great, great friends, make up artist Mai Quynh, and beauty writer/owner of The Beauty Closet, Shannon Levy.

The champagne and Elnett flowed at the fancy celebration. Afterward, we made our way down to the restaurant to continue the party. When my lips were feeling dry, I reached in my purse and grabbed my Dior Lip Polish.


I had no idea what a stir I would cause at our table. Everyone wanted to know what I was using and were all captivated by the formula, and innovative rotating applicator!

Fast forward to Thursday... I met up with Shannon at the Laurel Tavern so she could do a Q&A with me for BE magazine. When I walked in to the low-lit bar, I couldn't help but notice she looked radiant. I was so distracted when she was talking to me, I finally asked "what lip gloss are you wearing?"... "The Dior gloss you showed me at the Four Seasons!" she gushed. She went on to say how much she loves loves LOVES it (and let me tell you, this girl KNOWS her beauty products!).

Come to find out, she had even blogged about it on the beauty blog she shares with Mai, Lip Gloss Chicas.

So adorbs! I love turning my friends on to great products!

Sweet Escape

Hi everybody! I'm still alive! I've just been busy with my "day job" of being a make up artist! I've been so lucky to do some really cool and very creative jobs lately that I can't wait to be able to share with you! I also had the honor of being a guest at a luncheon for Dior Beauty celebrating make up artists and their clients, and raising money for Operation Smile.


It was a great day, and I had the absolute honor of meeting one of my favorite make up artists Kathy Jeung. Here's a small sampling of her work... She's definitely a "make up artist to obsess over"...





To top it all off, I went home with a bag full of make up goodies and some new sunglasses!

I also recently attended a private gallery viewing of the Dark Night of the Soul project I worked on with David Lynch. It was such an honor to work with Mr. Lynch, and an amazing feeling to see all the photos up on the gallery walls.

My name even made it into the "thank you" section of the Dark Night of the Soul book! If you are in Los Angeles, the show is up at the Michael Kohn Gallery through July 11, and it's KanYe approved!

Needless to say, I'm pretty much loving life right now, and I hope you are too!

As Long As I'm Gettin Thinnah

Check out my girl Lily Allen on The Jimmy Kimmel show last night...




She's rocking the Dior 5-Colour Eyeshadow in Electric Lights (available next month at Sephora) on her eyes with some beautiful Shu Uemura lashes.

Diamonds Are Forever

I just got a preview of Dior's amazing Summer '09 and it is knocking me out! I'm totally in love with the Dior Addict Lip Polishes!


Sorry for the lame camera phone shots, but these don't hit the counters til May so I can't find an official picture. But... how gorgeous are those colours??? What you can't see here is the really cool patented spinning applicator! It feels so great when you're applying it to your lips, like a little massage! The texture is super super glossy, and the colours are sheer. I'm so in love!!!

I also got to check out the new Dior 5-Colour Eyeshadow in Electric Lights from the Dior Cristal summer collection!

The colours are très très iridescent! I'm totally feeling the silver and blue!

These new products will be available in May, so keep your eyes peeled! These are MUST HAVES for any beauty buff!

I Came So Far For Beauty

Dior has been blowing my mind with their amazing make up products lately. Back in November I was lucky enough to get my hands on their Night Diamond Luminizing Powder and I've been obsessing over it ever since.

It adds a gorgeous glow to the face/collar bones/arms/legs.... and the packaging is totally cute!

I've been singing the praises of their Pro Cheek cream blush for awhile now

The colors are rich, and the cream stays in place nicely.

Lately, I've totally gotten in to their Diorshow Blackout Mascara

I love the big chunky brush for creating a dramatic look, and the color is deep black... it doesn't dry out to be an ashy grey!

Now I just got an advance of Dior's new Harmonie De Blush in "Rose Brazilia". Oh my gosh, it is so beautiful I can't even stand it!  It's a combination of peach, pink, and dusty rose with a shimmery gold laced through. I can't find a picture online yet, and the pic I tried to take did not do it justice. When this hits the counter, it is a must have! It's so gorgeous I don't even want to use it!

Saturday Savior

Yesterday I received a beautiful package from Dior. I haven't even begun to try all the products, but so far the Pro-Cheeks blush is completely knocking me out!

It's a creme blush, and the texture is really unique. It's kind of spongy, so I wasn't sure if I would like it, but I totally love it. I have it in Hip Peach, which is a really beautiful color. It seems to last longer than any of the other creme blushes I use. I'm highly highly recommending!

Today my friend Alex called me and saved me from a dull day of doing laundry and lounging around my house. Instead I got to be creative and have a fun, inspired day in the park! My life is so fun sometimes. :)
